I knew straight away I wanted some kind of narrative sequence in a
music video mixed with some performance. My first idea related to lyrics in the
song that said “messing with my mind”, “chase, down an empty street” and “the
blood ain’t on my face”. My first plan was to have some kind of bicycle video
which used a camera mounted onto a bike and having events from that. I
dismissed it because I didn’t think it had enough relation to the message
portrayed in the song.
I chose to make a music video that related to the lyrics that came
up most it the song like, “I tell you I want you, I’ll tell you I need you” and
“just wanted you near me”. The rough idea of the music video will be a counter
typical view of a girl watching a boy and will be exaggerated and amplified as
much as possible by making it almost seem as if one is stalking the other.
In the way of mise en scene, I have thought about everything I wanted
to do and what I would need to do that. The props I will need to create the
scenes and shots I want to get are; binoculars, a tracking device, a bottled
drink, a rope, fake poison, a chair and a small knife-like weapon.
The settings I need vary quite a bit so that people watching can
easily tell the difference between the performances that will fragment the
narrative part of the video. I will need to find a couple of roads in an urban
town to film most of it. But will also need a hill/mountain that overlooks a
valley for parts of the performance.
In the music video the artist will be portrayed as more of a victim
and shown to be innocent and unknowing. The artist could also be seen as quite
popular and idolized because he is being watched and followed.
